Production of polyhydroxybutyrate in switchgrass, a value‐added co‐product in an important lignocellulosic biomass cropWiley - Tập 6 Số 7 - Trang 663-678 - 2008
M. N. Somleva, Kristi D. Snell, Julie J. Beaulieu, Oliver P. Peoples, Bradley R. Garrison, N. A. Patterson
SummaryPolyhydroxyalkanoate bio‐based plastics made from renewable resources can reduce petroleum consumption and decrease plastic waste disposal issues as they are inherently biodegradable in soil, compost and marine environments. In this paper, the successful engineering of the biomass crop switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) for the synt...... hiện toàn bộ
Expanding the base editing scope in rice by using Cas9 variantsWiley - Tập 17 Số 2 - Trang 499-504 - 2019
Kai Hua, Xiaoping Tao, Jian‐Kang Zhu
SummaryBase editing is a novel genome editing strategy that enables irreversible base conversion at target loci without the need for double stranded break induction or homology‐directed repair. Here, we developed new adenine and cytosine base editors with engineered SpCas9 and SaCas9 variants that substantially expand the targetable sites in the rice genome. These ...... hiện toàn bộ
Genotyping genome‐edited mutations in plants using CRISPR ribonucleoprotein complexesWiley - Tập 16 Số 12 - Trang 2053-2062 - 2018
Zhen Liang, Kunling Chen, Yan Yan, Yi Zhang, Caixia Gao
SummaryDespite the great achievements in genome editing, accurately detecting mutations induced by sequence‐specific nucleases is still a challenge in plants, especially in polyploidy plants. An efficient detection method is particularly vital when the mutation frequency is low or when a large population needs to be screened. Here, we applied purified ... hiện toàn bộ
WRKY transcription factors: key components in abscisic acid signallingWiley - Tập 10 Số 1 - Trang 2-11 - 2012
Deena L. Rushton, Prateek Tripathi, Roel Rabara, Jun Lin, Patricia Ringler, Ashley K. Boken, Tanner J. Langum, Lucas Smidt, Darius D. Boomsma, Nicholas J. Emme, Xianfeng Chen, John J. Finer, Qingxi J. Shen, Paul J. Rushton
SummaryWRKY transcription factors (TFs) are key regulators of many plant processes, including the responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, senescence, seed dormancy and seed germination. For over 15 years, limited evidence has been available suggesting that WRKY TFs may play roles in regulating plant responses to the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA), notably some ...... hiện toàn bộ
Green leaf volatiles: biosynthesis, biological functions and their applications in biotechnologyWiley - Tập 13 Số 6 - Trang 727-739 - 2015
Muhammad Naeem‐ul‐Hassan, Zamri Zainal, Ismanizan Ismail
SummaryPlants have evolved numerous constitutive and inducible defence mechanisms to cope with biotic and abiotic stresses. These stresses induce the expression of various genes to activate defence‐related pathways that result in the release of defence chemicals. One of these defence mechanisms is the oxylipin pathway, which produces jasmonates, divinylethers and g...... hiện toàn bộ
Integration of small RNAs, degradome and transcriptome sequencing in hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii uncovers a complex regulatory network and provides insights into cadmium phytoremediationWiley - Tập 14 Số 6 - Trang 1470-1483 - 2016
Xiaojiao Han, Hengfu Yin, Xixi Song, Yunxing Zhang, Mingying Liu, Jiang Sang, Jing Jiang, Jihong Li, Renying Zhuo
SummaryThe hyperaccumulating ecotype of Sedum alfredii Hance is a cadmium (Cd)/zinc/lead co‐hyperaccumulating species of Crassulaceae. It is a promising phytoremediation candidate accumulating substantial heavy metal ions without obvious signs of poisoning. However, few studies have focused on the regulatory roles of mi... hiện toàn bộ
Monoterpene engineering in a woody plant Eucalyptus camaldulensis using a limonene synthase cDNAWiley - Tập 8 Số 1 - Trang 28-37 - 2010
Kazuaki Ohara, Etsuko Matsunaga, Kazuya Nanto, Kyoko Yamamoto, Kanako Sasaki, Hiroyasu Ebinuma, Kazufumi Yazaki
SummaryMetabolic engineering aimed at monoterpene production has become an intensive research topic in recent years, although most studies have been limited to herbal plants including model plants such as Arabidopsis. The genus Eucalyptus includes commercially important woody plants in terms of essential oil production and the pulp indust...... hiện toàn bộ
Apoptosis‐related genes confer resistance to Fusarium wilt in transgenic ‘Lady Finger’ bananasWiley - Tập 9 Số 9 - Trang 1141-1148 - 2011
Jean‐Yves Paul, Douglas K. Becker, Martin B. Dickman, R. M. Harding, Harjeet Khanna, J. L. Dale
SummaryFusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), is one of the most devastating diseases of banana (Musa spp.). Apart from resistant cultivars, there are no effective control measures for the disease. We investigated whether the transgenic expression of apoptosi...... hiện toàn bộ
